Mimosa Madness!

The wildfire haze is so thick, you can't see the mountains... crazy. However, it no longer smells like a roaring campfire outside, so Miss Poppins and I decided to go for a walk. Good hair day. Wavy pigtails.

Mary is begging for it. Such pleading, walk-loving eyes.

Nearly did a cartwheel right in the middle of Ridgecrest when we came upon my favorite tree in full bloom: the Mimosa!

This lovely Mimosa---in all its pink, puffy-blossomed splendor--earns five stars and the esteemed title of Tree of the Day.
